| Abstract | The Navy Technology Center for Safety and Survivability (NTCSS) is investigating water spray and water mist fire suppression systems for use in shipboard compartments. Water spray and water mist systems currently being tested include low-pressure [ I O bar (IS0 psi)] water spray, with drop sizes on the order of 1000 pm or less, and high-pressure [I38 bar (2000 psi)] water mist, with drop sizes on the order of 100 pm or less. The NTCSS is evaluating a laser-based particle/droplet visualization system at the Naval Research Laboratory-Chesapeake Bay Detachment (NRL-CBD) facility to simultaneously determine droplet size distribution and velocity at two positions in a 28 m’ (1000 ft’) fire suppression test compartment. The goal is twofold: ( I) determine what mistkpray properties4rop size distribution, velocity, and number density-at the fire result in the most effective fire suppression; and (2) determine what mistlspray properties at the nozzle are required to provide the most effective sprayimist at the fire. Issues regarding implementation and limitations of the visualization system, including system protection, performance verification and sampling considerations are discussed. |
